I would appreciate it if I were in Lisa's posistion. Lisa is an active member of the forum, and is going through a really tough time. I know how hard it is to have a parent ill with a tumor, it is the most uncertain time you could ever imagine. Nothing compares trust me. I couldn't imagine not being able to be there. And driving 14 hours is rough especially alone the day before thanksgiving and the day before your anniversary, and missing being with your kids for thanksgiving and your husband on your annivesary.. I just thought with the awesome forum we have here that plenty of people would contribute to help lisa out (Don't dissapoint me). Flying would be so much easier, and a lot of us I feel could give some money from our pockets to help one of our own. I just felt that someone needed to get the ball rolling to get the idea out there. And Lisa's reply brought tears to my eye earlier. We all need a little help at somepoint. It brings me joy to help out someone else in their time of need, as it is nice to be helped out when you need it.
